TikTok Creator Says a Date Left Her Questioning Relationships
TikTok creator @trinity.blair, who goes by Trinity, says a date in college left her questioning whether she wanted to date at all after she offered to pay for dinner and received a $100 bill for food she says she never wanted. Her video has attracted 992,000 views and 188 comments.
Trinity said she and the man she was dating were both broke college students at the time. According to her account, the date initially suggested ordering Wingstop at his home because that was all he could afford. Trinity said she understood their financial situation but wanted to go out instead.
“So, I go on a date with this man. I get to his house and he tells me, ‘Yeah, we should probably just order Wingstop in because that’s all I can afford right now.’ And I’m like, no. I did not come all this way for us to order Wingstop to your house. Not what we’re doing. Me, I’m very understanding of being broke, okay? We’re college students. I get it. So I’m like, ‘It’s fine. I’ll pay. Let’s go somewhere. I’ll pay. It’s fine,’”
The pair eventually chose Mexican food and went to Papacito’s, a restaurant Trinity said she had never visited before. She said she was initially excited about the restaurant and already had a burrito in mind, although she would have preferred Chewy’s.
“We walk into this place, and it’s like kind of like authentic Mexican cuisine, low-key. I wasn’t expecting it to be so like spazzy, which is fine. And I’m looking through the menu, you know? I’m like, oh, great, we’re at Papacito’s. This place is really nice. I would have picked Chewy’s, but this is fine, whatever. And I’m like, oh, I just really want a burrito,”
Trinity Says Her Date Ordered $80 Fajitas
Trinity said her date encouraged her to order fajitas instead. Before she could order the burrito she wanted, she said he ordered fajitas for both of them to share, including a full pound of chicken.
“Mind you this guy is like tall and scrawny he does not eat and I’m petite, I’m not gonna eat a pound of chicken either,”
When the food arrived, Trinity said she barely ate because she had not wanted the fajitas. She said she made a small taco and ate only about a quarter of it.
“So after he orders for me we wait, we get the food, and I don’t eat any of it because I didn’t want the fajitas, I wanted a burrito. So I made myself a mini taco and I ate like a quarter of it,”
Trinity said the fajitas cost $80 and that the overall bill came to $100. Although she had offered to pay for the date, she said she did not expect the meal to be that expensive. She paid the bill and left a tip despite eating very little.
Comments Debate Communication and Paying for Dinner
Looking back, Trinity acknowledged that she could have been more direct about her order. She said she did not tell her date clearly that she wanted a burrito rather than fajitas.
“I could have spoken up for myself and been like, ‘No, I don’t want the fajitas, I want the burrito.’ Instead, I just sat back and was like, ‘Yeah, yeah, let’s get the fajitas. I don’t know. It’s weird being a woman in this day and age. Anyways, I will never go on a date again, period. I don’t trust anybody. That’s all,”
Viewers offered sharply different reactions to the story. Some commenters questioned why Trinity declined the original Wingstop suggestion, while others focused on her claim that her date ordered an expensive meal while knowing she would pay.
“You was being greedy should have taken wingstop,”
Another commenter criticized the decision to order the more expensive meal when Trinity was covering the bill.
“The audacity of knowing you’re paying and getting the most expensive thing. I would have got up and left, this ain’t a day it’s highway robbery,”
A third commenter said the central issue was that Trinity’s date ordered food for her without considering whether she wanted it.
“So basically he orders for u and your paying but he doesn’t even care that u ain’t want that,”
The discussion ultimately broadened into a debate about communication during dates, responsibility for meal costs and whether people should speak up when a date orders something they do not want.
